Anyone notice that in episode 8 of season 1 Yuuji grabs hold of Shana's torso when they're flying in order to hold on, whereas in this episode Shana seems to have learned telekinesis, and is able to 1) cause Yoshida to levitate from the window sill, and 2) fly along side her just by holding her hand? Is this a plot hole, or was the episode 8 just fan-service? (Season 1 had more moe character designs, and lots more fanservice...)

Mellow episode with some wasted moments. It got awesome at the end with the Johan flashback and the actual Pheles appearing, only to get felt up by Silver.

I'll give it an 8/10, bordering on a 7 because of the "I'll win scene" for the millionth time.

I haven't watched this episode yet so I don't know what led Shana and Kazumi to mention the whole "I'll win" again, but given the amount of time it has been mentioned about so far (it was there since the first episode!), is there any chance that J.C.Staff is about to resolve this whole love triangle issue once and for all?

Well i believe the novel is still ongoing and the love triangle thing is like the glue that holds the story together, everything that happens in Shakugan no Shana attempts to propel the relationship and character development forward but i doubt they'll resolve the whole love triangle thing until near the end of the novel.

Also from the way it's looking, the characters are attempting to resolve the love issue but circumstances just prevent it from happening...

It gets to the point where I'm thinking "ok Shana here's your chance, just drop her. That will end this thing once and for all." Then I think about the actual ramifications and let that subside a little.

Well, Shana did decide to make her confession on episode 12, only to be interrupted by Pheles. Not sure when J.C.Staff is going to decide to end this love rivalry, if anytime soon at all... At the very least, on that episode, Shana decided to take the initiative while Kazumi just went "can I wait?"

Kazumi learned a valuable lesson in this episode, never let your guard down because if you do well we all saw what happened. That Giant silver arm punching a hole through Pheles was a surprise and she called him Johan. Whether or not that person is Johan remains to be seen and if it is why did he attack Pheles. It might have something to do with the spell that has mutated the Meigo. On a positive note go Tanaka and Oga-chan I think after being with Oga Tanaka's will to become a Flame Haze will fade away as for his buddy i do see him one day succeeding in becoming one.

Next week the truth about Konoe is reveled and why her and her butler had those creepy glowing bracelets. I will say if she really is Hecate it would make sense for her to stop Pheles after all she wants Yuji prized little possession as well.

Thank god those last two minutes happened which completely saved this episode. Also yet again it's the flashback scenes that really make this show for me. The BGM track played was very Ko Otani, and i loved it.

Wilhelmina's lack of cautiousness was a bit strange: she knew that pheles had such avatar spell, but she didn't expect that until it shows up... Well, obviously it might be not obvious to expect that, but seriously, some doubt would be preferable.

she knew the spell allow pheles to be where she wants, but she doesn't know the exact details (creating an avatar etc).

This ep is disappointing for me. There is no action except the end part where Silver pierce Pheles' body.
I also dislike Pheles char. In prev ep, she simply appears as a woman who's desperate to find her lover. At the last part, she appears evil and very sinister. Her facial expression and tone of voice are just too different from how they were before.
Anyways, next ep is gonna be very interesting with Silver finally join the show.

The Silver arm isn't Johan, she just called it Johan because she doesn't see Yuji as a seperate beign, she see's Yuji as Johan (when refering to him she never call him Yuji, always Johan) the silver arm stuck out of Yuji, so she think that he attacked her, and since she thinks that Yuji is Johan she also thinks that the one attacking her (the Silver arm that's coming out of Yuji) is also Johan.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only one / one of the very few who is/are enjoying the love triangle for what it is, how it has evolved from a traditional bickering rival relationship, to a respect each other relationship, to an actual friends relationship, where both Yoshida and Shana improve each other while maintaining a more than cordial friendship. I enjoyed this episode from start to end... possibly because i always enjoyed S1 more for the peaceful moments and how Guze's and Earth's inhabitants interacted with each other than the battles. Aw well, to each to his own
